Optimistic Arsenal fans, and directors, are demanding City striker Sergio Aguero in exchange at odds of 5/1.

And, despite Raheem Sterling at 4/1 seeming a more realistic makeweight, we’ve paid out on all bets for Aguero to join the Gunners.

Asked about the pay-out spokesman Paddy Power said: “You’ve got to feel a bit sorry for Arsenal fans – even those Fan TV lads.

“It’s been a horrible few weeks for the Gunners, and today could be quite difficult.

“To salute the ridiculous optimism of the five fans who bet on their side to sign Aguero – one of the league’s most potent forces – we’ve paid out early on it happening. Because at least that way some Arsenal fans will have something to celebrate today.”
